Michael Pollan to Kick off 2015-2016 Season!

Michael Pollan is a journalist and one of the most influential figures in the food world. For over 25 years, in his best-selling books and television appearances, he has been informing us about the places where nature and culture intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and the evolution of food in our diets.

Pollan was named to the 2010 TIME 100, the magazine's annual list of the world's 100 most influential people. In 2009 he was named by Newsweek as one of the top 10 "New Thought Leaders."

Earlier this year, Pollan talked with Oprah about mindful eating and the problems of processed food, and explained some of his "Food Rules." Come see Michael Pollan on September 29th to kick start our 11th season! Bring your friends!

Signed Books
